- CER:
- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning — make a claim, back it with evidence, explain your reasoning.
- SOP:
- Standard Operating Procedure — the exact steps to follow (especially in a lab).
- Tracker:
- Your PLTW progress log where you record completed evidence.
- myPLTW:
- The PLTW course site where you do the online activities — you open it through Schoology.

💡 Big idea: A traceable evidence packet demonstrates that every observation was collected, documented, and analyzed with integrity.
- 0:00Project the tracker checklist; walk through each required item with the class
- 0:10Work time: upload scene photos and scale sketch; verify orientation note is present
- 0:25Work time: upload evidence log; audit for missing signatures or timestamps
- 0:40Work time: upload trace-evidence microscopy sketches and Thursday CER
- 0:58Self-assessment form: check each success criterion; flag any item not yet met
- 1:10One-sentence share: what is one thing the chain-of-custody process taught you this week?
- • We are closing the case file today. Everything from this week, the scene photos, the sketch, the evidence log, the microscopy observations, the CER, all of it gets submitted as one coherent packet.
- • Before you upload anything, ask yourself: could someone who was not in this room follow what we did and why? That is the standard for a complete evidence packet.
- • We will go through the checklist item by item. Chain-of-custody record: is every transfer signed and dated? If not, fix it now.
- • Your self-assessment is the last item on the checklist. Be honest. Flagging a gap yourself is always better than having someone else find it.
- 1Review the tracker checklist for scene-unit deliverables.
- 2Upload your scene photos, scale sketch, and evidence log.
- 3Attach your trace-evidence observations and CER analysis.
- 4Confirm your chain-of-custody record is complete and signed.
- 5Self-assess against success criteria and flag gaps.
- • I can submit a complete, traceable scene packet.
- • I can verify my evidence against a checklist.
- • Every item in a submitted evidence packet should trace back to a specific documentation step and a signed chain-of-custody record.
- • A self-assessment against success criteria surfaces gaps before a grade does, which is the professional standard in science.
- • Incomplete chain-of-custody documentation is a procedural failure, not just a point deduction; it can void a real case.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open myPLTW and confirm all Lesson 1.1 Investigating the Scene tasks are marked complete. Verify your evidence-log submission is recorded.
All Lesson 1.1 tasks should show as complete in your myPLTW progress view.
Every item from Monday through Thursday should be submitted today before you leave.
Completed myPLTW Lesson 1.1 unit with all tasks marked, plus tracker submission including photos, sketch, evidence log, microscopy sketches, CER, and self-assessment.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
